The use of the hyperbaric oxygenation therapy in urology.
Abstract: The basic principle of the hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HOT) is to increase the dissolved oxygen in the blood when it is administered at high pressure. Then O2 will be distributed to the tissues through the pressure gradient, in this way obtaining an...
Can procalcitonin predict bone infection in people with diabetes with infected foot ulcers? A pilot study.
Abstract: The diagnosis of osteomyelitis is a key step of diabetic foot management. Previous studies showed that procalcitonin (PCT), a novel infection marker, is superior to conventional infection markers in the diagnosis of diabetic foot infection. This study aimed...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on bone prefabrication in rats.
Abstract: This experimental study aimed to create a prefabricated vascularized bone graft using the interconnected porous coralline hydroxyapatite ceramic by combining vascular bundle implantation, mesenchymal stem cells, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)...
Hyperbaric oxygen for stroke treatment.
Abstract: This is an editorial for the inauguration of the Medical Gas Research and addresses a particular issue of using hyperbaric oxygen for stroke treatment. Toole, , , , , , , , (2011). Hyperbaric oxygen for stroke treatment. Medical gas research, 2011...
[Necrotizing otitis externa: report of 36 cases].
Abstract: Necrotizing otitis externa is a potentially lethal form of otitis externa which occurs mainly in elderly diabetic. To study the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of necrotizing otitis externa and to describe the outcomes of this disease. We report...
Meningeal carcinomatosis diagnosed during stroke evaluation in the emergency department.
Abstract: A 70-year-old female presented to the emergency department with a 3-day history of intermittent dysphasia and right facial droop. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were obtained, and the patient was found to have meningeal...
Does hyperbaric oxygen administration before or after irradiation decrease side effects of irradiation on implant sites?
Abstract: One of the main limitations of implant-based breast reconstruction is the high rate of complications such as capsular contracture and poor aesthetic outcome, due to adjuvant radiotherapy. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) has been used to assist wound...
